Miners

A group of miners pose near a mine entrance at either the Berwind Mine in Las Animas County or the Rugby Mine in Huerfano County, Colorado. The men wear overalls and work boots. Some of the men have electric mine lamps attached to their caps, and have battery packs at their hips. The workers carry enamelware lunch buckets (pails). Work horses are near the mine shaft.
